Hey my stock 001 cable broke as well, i ordered a BTG Audio Starlight cable for the Parterre - costs me about AUD 200 after shipping from the USA (I'm in Sydney as well). Takes more than a month to come though because they are all made to order, longer lead times as well if you want stuff like...

  that datograph is so sexy

If the AK220 is priced about the same as the AK120 Titan, I'm probably gonna get one, liking the looks and the improved UI.

  Astell&Kern AK100MkII & Fitear Parterre

Should be able to come! This is going to be my first ever audio meet LOL

For a stock system - mine sounds decent, I'd have to say. I'm driving an MY11 Accord Euro (known as the Acura TSX in USA).   From the factory, mine has a Panasonic 6-CD Changer Head Unit with 10 speakers that consists of : 2 - Tweeters 2 - Front Speakers 2 - Rear Speakers 2 - Parcel Shelf...

  The MkII has slightly better bass and mids compared to the MkI - the difference is not that big but still quite noticable.   All this talk about the RWAK100 makes me want to try one -- sadly no one that I know in Sydney owns a RWAK100 

  Have you tried the AK100MkII before? I'm really curious as to how the RWAK100 sounds compared to the AK100MkII with IEMs since they have lower output impedance compared to the AK100MkII.

  Just got my Parterre recently - tried all of the stock FitEar tips and none of them gives me good fit and sound. I am currently using the smallest Comply T200 tips, and it gives me really good fit.

  I recently got the MkII as well! Loving it so much! I'm still curious on how the DX50 sounds though up until now lol, never tried one since no one I know has one...     I tried plugging in my AK100MkII to my mid-2011 iMac running Mavericks, it's not even detected in the Sound system...

  I think so, yes. Had a folder with album art in there but not embedded into the music file, the album art did not show up when I'm playing the files from that folder on my MkII.   I ended up embedding it using kid3 from my Mac, works fine now. But there are some files (FLAC & mp3s) that...

  Did you try it with your FitEar ToGo 334? The RX Mk3-B/B+ does not seem to work nicely with IEMs, I tried that combo as well with my Sony XBA-40s and it's got pretty loud hiss as well. Friend tried it with his FitEar Parterre and AKG K3003 and there's the same issue with it.   It works and...

  I asked my friend in Tokyo to grab one for me from e-earphone in Akihabara. http://www.e-earphone.jp/shop/shopdetail.html?brandcode=047000000036&search=Astell&sort=brandname   The microSDs are inside the box so I'm assuming that the AK100MkII comes with those microSD cards as standard...

  I went for the AK100 Mk II after trying out both the Mk II and Mk I. For me, it's worth the extra money and you get nice extras like 2x 32GB microSD cards and the Buttero leather case.

Thanks!   That's good to hear -- I was freaking out when it first happened, I thought there's a hardware failure or something... Yeah, hopefully they'll fix the issue on the next firmware update. :)

Hi Everyone,   Just got my AK100 Mk II a couple of days ago. Love the sound that comes out from that little thing but I was just wondering whether anyone had this issue before :   Sometimes, after turning on the player, when I was trying to play music or browse my Folders, it froze for a...

Hi Everyone! I'm Matt. I'm from Sydney and I've been lurking on this forums for a while already and suddenly decided to create an account and start posting.   I'm pretty new with these audio stuffs, even though I liked music since I was a kid. The hobby kinda starts a while ago though, when...
